MAKE NO BABBYS posted:Yeah, it's really horrendous. If you want to know more (it's rough and disgusting, you are warned!!) look up Debi Pearl's "How To Train Up A Child" which Michelle Duggar is famous for endorsing. A woman on tiktok just last week put out that she and her mother, although a part of the same homeschool cult in the late 90s/early 2000s were so disgusted by a speech she gave a conference they essentially left the whole thing. She claims to have a VHS of Michelle demonstrating and teaching the system. I won't describe it here because it's really upsetting and involves beating newborns and toddlers. I judt looked the book up on Wikipedia: quote:The book advises parents to use objects like a 0.25 in (6.4 mm) diameter plastic tube to spank children and "break their will". It also mentions withholding food and putting children under a cold garden hose. How the gently caress does a book that advises parents to break their child's will even get published. This is mental.

That book is still sold in plenty of little "folksy" tourist attractions. Near my hometown I remember seeing it for sale at an apple orchard right next to the gift cards and jams and jellies. I didn't know what it was at the time but I remembered the unusual name when I heard about it online later. I wonder if they even know what's in it

sigher posted:What the gently caress. Another of the evils of "blanket training" as the baby grows up is evident in the Duggars smiles. Look at any picture of them and you will see them doing a rictus simulacra of a smile that exudes no joy, no happiness, no warmth, with glassy dead eyes. This is because sadness, and "bad thoughts" are a sin. and make you a bad person which means you will get in trouble. So the "trained" child learns to put on the face of "I'm happy! I love Jesus! I am happy in the love of Jesus always! Don't hurt me, don't hurt me, don't hurt me. I am a good boy/girl." lest they be punished for the sin of making Duggar/fundie life look bad. Cults are bad. American Christian cults especially so.

here's a fun thought exercise: why don't evangelicals make more hay out of the fact that the catholic church has engaged in a centuries long pedophile conspiracy? Jack Chick called them moon-worshipping idolators, but not pedophiles. i. wonder. why.

If that does well, it could provide enough for a family of 19, but one has to wonder how the kids who have 4-8 kids of their own make a living on a single income. Arkansas isn't an expensive place to live but the Northwest corner is the priciest part of the state. Josh went from DC lobbyist to car salesman. How do kids not live in poverty?

Adjacent religious question: So your US brand Fundie Christians hate the Muslims and the Catholics. And are themselves mostly weird mutant Lutherans. (I think Evangelicals are Lutherans?) What do they think about the Anglicans? By far the most inoffensive of Christians, (to my limited knowledge).

As long as Evangelicals have other Americans to call unAmerican, no matter what ever esoteric, vaguely different offshoot they are there will always be bridge building and fellowship in righteousness. When the infidels are finally dealt with it will be knives out. MAKE NO BABBYS posted:They can’t even accurately quote the Bible. Much like the US Constitution, Evangelicals love documents that say what they think they say rather than what they really say. It's curious that fundamentalists never keep kosher or dress, etc. The ready reply is, "Jesus liberated us from those rules."

BrigadierSensible posted:Adjacent religious question: Evangelicals are not Lutherans, the Lutheran Church in the US is one of the more liberal, holding pride days for gays for Jesus and whatnot. Evangelicals are the ungodly spawn of Pentecostals, and they mostly identify as Southern Baptists, Southern Baptists being distinguishable from all other Baptists by their pure hate-fueled rhetoric that defies anything Christ said. For the various loony-bin cultists that tend to be the only Whites in the US shot in the head by the cops/Feds, it doesn't really matter what denomination they identify with because their actual faith is "God wants me to rape 15 year old girls, some of which may be my offspring" And OFC they're always the only tiny little band of dipshits that "understands the true word of God" and the only thing they hate [i[almost[/i] as much as the gays is any sort of moderate Christian sect, including the Catholics, for silver perspective. Sometimes they're LDS who broke with the mainstream Mornons because the Church of LDS has decided (publicly) that bigamy and child rape are bad. E: E;F;B badly, like the child of an evangelical cult. BTW all this poo poo is really interesting historically, it all stems from a combination of most American Colonists being religious wackadoos, with one thing the US Constitution gets absolutely right, which is "the government won't interfere with religion" and in true American fashion completely fucks up anything good.

Man, we were just randomly talking about the Duggar shitshow after dinner the other night, so the timing is more than a bit eerie for me. Was he another in the long line of dumbasses who bragged about being part of the Capitol raid?

Automatic Slim posted:Jim Bob owns a hardware store, right? Most of the adult kids with kids of their own appear on Counting On, and are either paid themselves or through Jim Bob. The adult daughters and daughter-in-laws are all influencers with substantial followers. A few wrote a book five-ish years ago (not long before the original scandal broke). The sons and son-in-laws are uniformly deadbeats. One of the sons ran for state government and lost to a democrat. In butt-gently caress Arkansas. LOL. The second oldest daughter (Jill) had a falling out with the family, but as so far remained fairly tight-lipped about the family. She was one of Josh's victims. Her husband just graduated law school so may have a shot at actually supporting their family. They'd both been delivering for Uber to make ends meet. Josh and Anna and their kids live on Jim Bob's property in a guest house with no windows. That is not a joke.

It’s not even a guest house, it’s like, a storage unit/warehouse thing. My favorite is that the Dugs required, in addition to completely raising their siblings, cooking all meals, cleaning the whole home, all of the laundry and teaching their siblings, the girls also had to yell “NIKE” in public if they passed a woman or girl not sufficiently encased in ankle length denim skirts... completely ignoring Matthew 5:29

There should totally be an agency for wiping out all these compund cult clans. Have a judge just mass proscribe them as organisations one after the other, and send goons to incarcerate anyone judged to be at the top of the tree. gently caress your freedoms, cults should be illegal and if you don't like it elect a new government.

For sure. Worth pointing out though is that they've distanced themselves from the Duggars and the particular strain of pentecostal nuttery that the Duggars subscribe to, they're still conservative evangelical christians. Derrick (Jill's husband) got them kicked off the show when he repeatedly mis-gendered the trans star of another TLC reality show. e: beaten like a blanket-trained baby

His letters are in the NT, so it's going to be hard to convince Biblical supremacists to ignore them.

The reddit for the Counting On show thinks there is a good possibility that he has been arrested for Federal Motor Vehicle Crimes for trafficking in stolen parts and/or insurance fraud and money laundering across state lines. Apparently there was an FBI investigation last year involving his car lot.

Remember that the next time a US religious fundie does or says some thing outrageous. One of the last "pure" religious wars of Europe, was in 1712, so yeah. Also, it's good you forgot about the Thirty Years war, the one were more than a third of the entire population of Germany died, in the name of Protestant/Catholicism. Some would probably argue that at least some of the Yugoslav Wars of the 90's had some religious undertones, even if it was mainly about nationality and culture. No, we thank the French Revolution for that. Glory to the Cult of Reason! The order of the day? TERROR!

He was 100% using the lot's computers to find kiddie porn. It fits his history of 1) molesting his sisters 2) being loving stupid with computers. He probably straight up gave his credit card number to some DOJ honeypot site.
